Abstract

[Models are the roadmaps through the observational thicket. Despite its enormous range properties, a relatively few basic physical processes govern much of the structure and evolution of the ISM. In this chapter, we review some of the most important. We begin with a reprise of the issue of virialization. Then we examine some instabilities to which the ISM is subject. The core of this chapter is the structural, energetic, and dynamical importance of large scale motions and turbulence in the diffuse medium and some of the issues we see as fruitful lines for further investigations.]
